This grant supports documentary filmmakers in the production or post-production stages, providing funding to projects that tell compelling non-fiction stories. It seeks films that explore themes of adventure, activism, social justice, culture, environmental issues, and resilience.

Open to filmmakers from any country, the grant prioritizes diversity behind the camera and encourages applications from underrepresented voices in the industry.

Funding amounts range from $1,000 to $5,000, with selections based on the strength of the story, creative vision, and potential impact.

Applicants must submit a video sample or trailer (no longer than 10 minutes) along with a detailed application. Only projects that are still in production or post-production will be considered completed films, previously released projects, or impact campaigns are not eligible. If an applicant has previously applied and was not selected, they may reapply if significant progress has been made on the project.

Recipients are expected to provide regular progress updates and include the organization’s logo or name in the film credits. Selected films may also be considered for premiere opportunities and potential screenings as part of a curated film program. Filmmakers must submit their applications through an online platform, ensuring all required materials are provided before the deadline.
